- Being with nature also allows you to tune in to the infinite wisdom of your highest self.
2. The Ritual of Physicality:

- As you train your body, so you train your mind.
- Breathe fresh air. Preferably deep from your abdomen every morning. It can help you take in more oxygen to run the body optimally.
3. The Ritual of live Nourishment:
- A poor diet has a pronounced effect on your life. It drains your mental and physical energy.

4. The Ritual of Abundant Knowledge:
- Commit to lifelong learning and expanding your knowledge base for the good of yourself and those around you.

5. The Ritual of Personal Reflection:

- Retire to a quiet corner of your home every evening and reflect on your day. Then think of any adjustments you can make the next day.
